I am the same as OP, scared, and westside. Two years out and no improvements (Celexa helps my mental sides).
There are undoubtedly many more suffers that don’t post here regularly with the same problem: little to no improvements over the years and possibly even getting worse.
Maybe some of you can control this problem with exercise and cycling T boosters, or whatever new vegetable eating regimen is currently in vogue, but there are many of us who aren’t getting better NO MATTER WHAT WE TRY.
If you are feeling much better within a couple years of stopping, congrats! Your body seems to be capable of fixing some or all of the damage that has occurred. Unfortunately some of us seem to be past the “point of no return” where our bodies aren’t fixing themselves. We need specific scientific intervention, if we can be fixed at all.
Go ahead and call me a “naysayer” or whatever word makes you feel powerful, but you don’t know what has happened to me. You can’t tell me that what has worked for you will work for me. Obviously, not all things we put in our bodies affect people the same; otherwise, we wouldn’t even be here.
So, if you still want to say PFS is “easy” or “not that bad” then you can eat a fat dick. For many of us, this is a significant struggle that has lowered our quality of life so much we consider suicide daily. And fuck you if you think these guys aren’t “trying enough” or are “lazy.” Might as well go spit in a quadriplegics face and tell them they can walk if they try hard enough. In short: stop judging others.
Thank you, however, to those who are actively supporting the studies and to those who are positively supporting others in efforts to improve the symptoms of this fucking horrible condition.
